Tom: C

C            F                Am      F
It’s getting late, it must be two or later
C        F                       Am      F
I better go before they find I’m still here
Em                   Am      Em                    F
Since we can’t be together, when we turn out the lights
C           Am                 F       G         C
Promise me darling that you’ll dream about me tonight

C           F                             Am         F
They get upset when they think that I’ve stayed too long
C                     F                    Am      F
They’re afraid of the things that we might do
Em                       Am      Em                    F
But since we can’t be together, when they turn out the lights
C           Am                 F       G         C
Promise me darling that you’ll dream about me tonight

Bridge:
G                           Am       F  G
I know someday that we can sleep together
F          G            Am   F G
I know someday it’ll be all right 
Em          Am                F         Fsus2
But hold me in your arms just one more time
                  Dm                      G
Before we say goodnight, hold me one more time time time

C            F                Am      F
I wish that they could understand our feelings
C              F                               Am         F
But for now I guess we’ve got to play by their rules
Em                      Am      Em                     F
And since we can’t be together, when they turn out the lights
C           Am       F       G      C           Am       F      G
Promise me darling, that you will.  Promise me darling, come on baby
C           Am                 F       G      C  Cm7  F  C    C  Cm7  F  C
Promise me darling that you’ll dream about me tonight,        tonight
